Big sky 1,
Feb. 4, 2026,
Hi Everyone,
I am in Trudeau Airport, travelling to Big Ski Montana for a medical-ski conference.
The conference is from 6:30 am to 930 am and from 430 pm to 630 pm. This allows me 6 hours to ski. We are required to do 40 hours of retraining per year so this gives me 25 hours.
This is my 35-40th ski trip out west as I try to combine a medical-ski conference every year.
I will write every day and post 5-10 pictures everyday.
You may follow me on my blog: gobriantravel.com.
As you may know, I spent 2 months in Israel last year and 1 month this year. I spent 6 weeks on an IDF base doing the type of work that my mother told me I would do if I didn’t get a good education. I spent 6 weeks on an MDA ambulance as a physician-para medic helping in the care of 150 patients. I detailed my 3 month experience in my blog and am in the process of finishing my book entitled: Swords or Iron, Israel at War, a Canadian Surgeons Perspective. The book will be available for purchase in 6 weeks. All proceeds of the sale of the book will go towards the purchase of an ambulance for MDA.
Love,
Brian
